Nintendo is incredibly helpful towards indie studios and they can only do that because Switch players usually purchase their games and play them on the original hardware. As soon as there's too much hardware variations, quality goes down (e.g. Android vs. iPhone) and, obviously, publishers in a market with more piracy tend to be more user-hostile.
So if using their console is the price that we players have to pay to keep Nintendo treating indie devs nicely, then I think it's a very good tradeoff.
